In the IG post caption (below), Clayton reveals:
Not only is Garrett going public about his sexuality, but shared he’s been in a relationship with Los Angeles-based writer Blake Knight (tagged above) for a very long time. The couple has a shared experience of living through tragic school shootings in their hometowns.
This announcement comes just two years after the Hairspray! Live star shut down rumors about his real-life sexuality, following his role as a gay porn star in the 2016 movie, King Cobra.
Much respect to the 27-year-old for standing in his truth, and on his own terms!
You can catch Clayton as a young boy battling depression and suicidal thoughts in Reach on October 19.
